Falling Friday

I was going to blog about the fact that, if my parents were still alive, today would have been their 60th wedding anniversary.

But instead I am blogging about the sidewalks of Binghamton, NY. I do not intend to make Falling Friday a regular feature.

My spouse and I were doing our 1/2 hour exercise walk on the West Side of Binghamton tonight. Suddenly I tripped over an irregular sidewalk (there are a lot of those around here.) I couldn't recover, and I fell on my face. I came up spitting blood.

It could have been worse. I split my lip, have a bruised hand and shoulder, but all my teeth seem intact, and nothing is broken. So, this is not the end to a Friday that I had wanted. Now I hope nothing gets infected.

I also ruined the face of my watch and gouged some of my glasses, which I will have to get fixed.

So I will keep this short. Tonight, a simple soft meal. Tomorrow, I hope I feel better.

I still intend to do my "Civil War Sunday" but it may be a little simpler than I figured. I was hoping to go to the Owego Strawberry Festival tomorrow but I think I am just going to take it easy.

Hello! I welcome comments, as long as they are civil, are on topic, and do not contain profanity, advertising of any kind or spam. Any messages not meeting these criteria will immediately be composted, and my flowers will enjoy their contents.
